Abigail Averill, MA, LPC

About Abigail

Life is hard. We live in a world of uncertainties, which collectively have caused us to all feel emotions and fears that are hard to explain. And while we understand that humanity is suffering, it is also vital to address the individuality within that collective unit. Each of us have our own unique struggles. It is my belief that every person deserves to have a safe space to process their own emotions. As a counselor I am called to serve and work within my community to create an environment that allows for all people to feel seen, heard, and validated. I have experience working with adults, teenagers, and young children.
Despite the difficulties that may be present in your life, we can work together to encourage development of sustainable skills and healthy outcomes. My goal as a clinician is not to “fix” anyone or any problem, but rather to encourage insight and awareness on how to be the healthiest version of who a person is created to be.

  Michigan State LLPC Supervision Services

  As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the State of Michigan, my mission is to guide and mentor Limited Licensed Professional Counselors (LLPCs) in developing into ethical, competent, and self-aware clinicians.

  I believe supervision is a formative and sacred space—one that extends beyond case review and documentation. It is an intentional process of shaping clinical judgment, strengthening professional identity, and cultivating reflective practice.

  Through structured guidance, collaborative dialogue, and supportive accountability, I strive to help LLPCs:

  • Deepen clinical skill and ethical decision-making

  • Develop confidence while maintaining humility

  • Integrate theory with practical application

  • Strengthen cultural awareness and responsiveness

  • Build resilience and sustainable professional boundaries

  My goal is not simply to help clinicians meet licensure requirements, but to support their growth into thoughtful, grounded therapists who serve their communities with integrity, compassion, and excellence.
